Save the Date
We have a surgery date for Nathan – it’s MONDAY!
That in itself is a miracle since we thought it would take 4-6 weeks to get a date and it’s been just TWO. We squeezed in an appointment with Nathan’s pediatrician this morning so we could do the whole 15 month checkup without a cast on and discovered that in the past three months Nathan has gone from the 5th to the 50th percentile in height – no WONDER the leg length difference has become so pronounced! We have a pre-op appointment on Friday to get all our questions answered (I’m sure the docs have some things to do too) and then Nathan will likely be the first surgery of the day on Monday. We don’t feel in the least bit prepared, but we are so glad to get the surgery done and get on with healing.
So will you save the date and pray for us, keep us in your thoughts, send us good vibes (xylophones, marimbas…) or whatever it is you do? And would you leave us a note letting us know?
We’re praying for:
- uncomplicated surgery
- 6 weeks in the cast, maximum
- no future hip or leg length problems
- no more medical surprises, EVER
I already told Nathan we’re not doing this again next year…

Glad I came across this site. I'm hoping all goes well with the surgery and your little guy comes out strong as an ox on the other end!
prayers, of course, winging their way to you!
along with love and blessings :)
As always, our love and thoughts are with all of you. We will talk to Connie on Monday to see how things went. I think the worse part of this will be the HUGE cast. I feel so bad for you guys and Nathan.
Prayers ascending tonight and tomorrow ... and maybe (definitely) for a good while after that. ;)
Much love. Big hugs all around.
